...gafur had a magic  bag full of entertaining stories,  besides he was  a storyteller and loved talking  , within two days he had poured out innumerable tales to his sahib who also  attentively  listened to him  because he was  looking for a new subject to write his novel  a topic  that was sensational and exciting  ,  he wanted  a story  that  was  based on crime  and punishment   , it should   shake off the world out of readers heads, for that reason the central theme  had to  be very  strong   and impact full

On the third day  he found  the  hidden treasure of the theme   and it was the story of professor nazmaldin 

Gafur opened the story with a sorrowful note , sahib ji,   poor professor  had so much to go through  life

Tell me all in detail showing interest of an attentive listener and picked up his  pen and paper pad to scribble down quickly  important points  if any  for future reference 

Oh, it happened some time ago,  his voice was quite serious,  his wife was brutally murdered by someone  and  stole all the  gold and cash  , certainly a satanic work  of a robber , but when he had stolen everything  from the house why did he shoot the woman,  narghis was a beautiful  and tall woman,  her death left the professor a broken man,  from home to college  and back  , his life shrunk to limited routine,  he  refused to meet people 

Sahib filled the silence  when Gaurav paused  perhaps she had seen and recognized the robber so he shot her dead, she was a threat to him,  in such cases women  outdo themselves by their outspokenness and  get killed 

Gafur simply explained he never thought of that  probably sahib was right 

Where was the professor at the time of this happening 

The professor had gone out of town for two days
